This takes him into the wrestler's past and the vast, gritty world of wannabe wrestlers and hangers-on, seedy nightclubs, and underworld types. Why did El Angel give up his identity as a young man? A lot of people don't want Olmo to find out, and he receives several serious attacks intended as warnings. This film-noir detective movie/comedy is also an affectionate spoof of Mexican wrestling films of the 1950s and '60s, and will probably be best appreciated by those familiar with the genre. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
